Rescue Dogs - Food Cart

A vegan hot dog & street food cart that is mobile across southern Ontario. Operates at markets and events, and is stationed most days in downtown St. Catharines. Serves hand rolled hot dogs with option of house-made nacho cheese, tvp sloppy Janes, and tempeh BLT sandwiches. Open Thu-Sat 11:00am-5:00pm. Hours subject to change due to weather and events.

I came across their food stall at the annual Veg Fest event in Toronto. They had about 5 hotdog options. While it was tasty and smelled delicious, paying $9 was a bit too high for a hotdog. Would stop by here next time I'm driving through St. Catherines!

for context: Their Rescue Dog / Philly were both huge and fairly priced at $9 when you consider they donate to animal rescues and include tax on every order. As well, the basic hot dog was $5.

We drove to St Catharines to go to rescue dogs while visiting Niagara Falls. It was totally worth the drive. Not only did the owner make us delicious hot dogs, he also had vegan dog treats for my pup. He also recommended other vegan restaurants for us to visit while in Canada.

KW is responsible for THE best new vegan start-up. Besides regularly driving from Toronto to St.Catharine's for his cooking, I'm excited to hire him to do some private catering. Great dude, great food, and a great cause.

I had the rescue dog. The veggie dog was full of flavour, the best I ever had. The cheesy sloppy joe topping was a fun addition. They were pretty quick even though the place was packed. Plus, a portion of all their sales goes to local animal shelters. I will definitely be back.

I had the rescue dog and the protein dog, both were delicious!! The buns are very fresh! The protein was my favourite out of the two, the tempeh won my heart! Kudos the masterminds behind rescue dogs :)

The food was so amazing that I've been thinking about it ever since. We had a Plain Jane, a Hexwich, and two Vics. The service was prompt and friendly, despite the huge crowds on opening night. I will make Resuce Dogs part of my Saturday routine, and would recommend them to anyone including omnivores.
